Postdoc platform

Teaching and Science at universities is mainly based on the work of Postdocs employed on time-limited contracts. Due to funding of large scale funding bodies (Excellence Cluster, Collaborative Research Centers, etc.) and changes in the organization structures of universities the number of Postdocs with limited contracts increased. However, the possibilities to advance careers at the university for this group has not yet been supported sufficiently. In order to evaluate career programs to support Postdocs it is foreseen to establish a Postdoc platform and Postdoc representatives have been elected in 2017.
